Reviews
- peridot_sequoiaSuper easy to find this place, and even at peak hours it's pretty packed. Service was really friendly though and the food came out fast. We got the beef rice and the pickled fish rice, plus a big bowl of veggie wontons with tons of filling — everything was solid, nice mix of meat and veggies. The pickled fish had a little kick to it, super tangy and the broth was really appetizing. The wontons were great too, thin skin, packed with filling, and the soup was tasty. And get this — free refills on rice, plus free little side dishes and fruit. Honestly felt like a great deal, definitely worth it. Would come back for sure.
